Glock Settles Negligent Discharge Case With Paralyzed Ex-LAPD Cop

The case never made it to court.
Apparently it did; the judge was about ready to select a jury, when he was told of the settlement. It should have been pre-screened and dismissed.

Years ago I was selected for jury duty. Some of us were grumbling about being selected when the DA came in and addressed us.

He thanked us for showing up and said that even just our presence was a benefit to the system. He said that often, just as the case is going to court, one side or the other sees the jury lining up to go in and folds like a card table, their bluff having failed.

I didn't grumble too much after that.
